#TradingPairs101 🔄 What Are Trading Pairs in Crypto?

#TradingPairs101 A trading pair shows which two assets you’re trading between—like BTC/USDT. The first asset (BTC) is what you’re buying or selling, and the second (USDT) is what you’re using to trade.

🔹 Example:

If BTC/USDT = 70,000, you need 70,000 USDT to buy 1 BTC.

There are two main types:

✅ Crypto-to-Stable (e.g., ETH/USDT): Great for measuring value in dollars.

✅ Crypto-to-Crypto (e.g., ETH/BTC): Useful for switching between coins without cashing out.

Why it matters:

✔️ Choosing the right pair affects fees, liquidity, and execution.

✔️ Some altcoins are only available through specific base pairs (like BTC or BNB).

💡 Tip: Stick to high-volume pairs for smoother trades and better pricing.
